Yes it is true that if your draw is shorter then your POWERSTROKE is shorter and therefore allowing you to shoot shorter brace bows without to much of a problem.I personally would still stay away from high reflex bows but a bow with moderate reflex(less than 1 1/2") and a brace of 6 1/2" to 7" would be fine for a hunting bow.If a serious tournament bow is what you are after, then I would not go much below 7" if at all possible.BUT that is just my opinion.
